The success of REDD+ is limited by a lack of engagement of farmers. The success of the commodity roundtables is limited by the high costs of farm certification. This proposal is designed to overcome these limitations, linking a process that has funds but needs farmers (REDD+) with processes that have farmers but need funds (commodity roundtables) to achieve significant GHG emissions reductions.

Predicting moisture dynamics of fine understory fuels in a moist tropical rainforest system: results of a pilot study undertaken to identify proxy variables useful for rating fire danger

The use of fire as a land management tool in the moist tropics often has the unintended consequence of degrading adjacent forest, particularly during severe droughts. Reliable models of fire danger are needed to help mitigate these impacts. Here, we studied the...

Fire-induced tree mortality in a neotropical forest: the roles of bark traits, tree size, wood density and fire behavior

Large-scale wildfires are expected to accelerate forest dieback in Amazônia, but the fire vulnerability of tree species remains uncertain, in part due to the lack of studies relating fire-induced mortality to both fire behavior and plant traits. To address this...
